TRUST: The base of love..

1. Accidental meet

Priya was in market buying few veges and essentials for her home. She had been out of her town just recently she started living back with her family.

She was walking on the road, just then a speeding bike approached her. The guy on the bike immediately applied the brakes but Priya fell on the ground. The bike didn't hit her but she fell due to sudden speed.

The guy stopped the bike and went to her.

He:"I'm really sorry, mene dekha nhi, I'm sorry.."

Priya(angrily):"To dekh ke nhi-"

As soon as she saw him, both eyes were widened.

He:"Priya? Right?"

She was shocked as hell. Is he really him?

Priya:"Ram?!"

He nodded and made her stand up. She was not able to react.

Ram:"Tum thik ho, lagi kahi par?"

She just nodded in negative not looking at his eyes. He gave her her bags.

Ram:"Ye lo, and again sorry..."

Priya:"I-It's o-ok.. Me th-thik hu.."

Ram:"Ok, so bye.."

Priya:"Bye.."

He nodded and went away riding on his bike.. She looked his disappearing figure. Tears started forming in her eyes. Her mind went back to 17 years back when they met first time in STD 3 and 8 years back when they met last time in STD 12..

Priya(m):"Aaj, itne saal baad tumse dobara mili Ram... Me khush hu ki tumhe me yaad hu... Par itne saalo se me tumhe jo puchna chahti hu vo puch hi nhi paati, kis haq se puchu ... Kyu aa gayi hum dono me itni duriya, Ram..."

While Ram was thinking about her behaviour.

Ram(m):"Priya ese kyu bartaav kar rhi thi, pehle to itne gusse me thi par jese hi mujhe dekha, to turant maano uska gussa chala gaya tha... Par kyu? Haa Vo boys se zyada baat nhi karti thi, shayad isiliye vo ab bhi mujhse baat karne me hichkicha rahi ho.."

Priya reached her home and saw her mom talking with someone on call.

Anju:"Ji me Priya se baat karke aapko batati hu, aap bhi Ram se baat kar lijiye.."

As soon as she heard 'Ram' , her eyes got wider..

Priya (m):"Phir se Ram, nhi shayad mumma ne kuch aur bola hoga, me kab se uske baare me soch rahi hu, shayad isiliye mujhe har jagah uska hi naam sunayi de raha hai..."

Anju saw her and called her..

Anju:"Priya.."

Priya:"Haa mumma.."

Anju:"Tujhi se baat karni thi... Tere liye ek marriage proposal aaya hai.."

Her eyes got widened. This was not the first time when a proposal had came for her..

Priya:"Proposal? Mere liye?.. No mumma, mene kaha hai na, mujhe abhi shaadi nhi karni.."

Anju:"Are ladka bohot accha hai, tu jaanti hai use.."

Priya:"Are ladka kesa bhi ho mujhe nhi karni shaadi, mumma.."

Anju:"Vo Ram Kapoor hai.."

Priya(shocked):"Kya?!! Ram!! (m) Aaj kya ho raha hai? Baar baar vahi kyu? (To her) Vahi Ram, jo mera classmate tha?"

Anju:"Haa haa vahi Ram.."

Priya:"Par use pata hai, I'm sure use nhi pata hoga.."

Anju:"Ha use nhi pata, Vo mujhe Shalini ji ka call aaya tha abhi, unhone mujhe tujhse baat karne ke liye kaha aur vo Ram se baat karegi.."

Priya:"Ohh.. Ok.."

She went to her room...

Priya(m):"Kya vo mujse shaadi karega? Par vo to Kriti se pyaar karta hai, aur Shalini aunty ko bhi ye pata hai... To vo Ram ki shadi mujhse kyu karana chahti hai?"

While Ram was sitting in his room checking some files.. Shalini knocked the door..

Shalini:"Mera beta busy hai, ya me andar aa sakti hu?.."

Ram(smiling):"Kesi baat kar rahi hai aap maa, me busy hu ya na hu aap to aa hi sakti haina.."

She went inside..

Shalini:"Puri baat sunna pehle phir react karna.... Teri shaadi ke liye mene baat ki hai.."

Ram:"Tch... No mom, mene aapse kaha hai mujhe nhi karni kisi se shadi... Mujhse ye pyar vyar nhi hoga... Uss Kriti ne jo kiya hai mere saath, usse samajh gaya hu... It's just waste of time.."

Shalini:"Are, ladki bohot pyari hai, uss Kriti se bilkul opposite hai... Tu jaanta hai use.. Priya Sood.."

Ram's eyes are now softened..

Ram:"P-Priya?"

Shalini:"Ha Priya, jo teri dost thi school me.."

Ram:"Maa, aap jaanti hi hai... Humari dosti bohot pehle hi tut gai thi..."

Shalini:"Haa pata hai, par tum dono ki dosti ese kese tut gai?"

Ram eyes filled with guilt.

Ram (m):"Maa, mene aapse aaj tak kuch nhi chupaya... Par ye me aapko nhi bata sakta... I'm sorry mujhe aapse jhooth bolna padega.."

Shalini:"Ram, kya soch rahe ho, batao mujhe..."

Ram:"Umm vo.. Pata nhi maa... I'm sure use bhi nhi pata hoga... (m) sorry maa, lekin ye zaroori tha... Lekin ye baat to sach hai ki Priya ko ye bilkul nhi pata humari dosti tutne ki wajah... (to her) To aapne uski maa se baat ki, humari shaadi ko leke.."

Shalini:"Haa, vo bohot acchi hai, ye to jaanta haina.."

Ram:"Haa, actually me Aaj usse mila..."

Shalini:" Kya?! Kab?!"

Ram:"Abhi, ghar aate vakt, vo galti se meri bike ke saamne aa gayi thi..."

Shalini:"Oh.. Kahi chot vot to nhi aayi na use.."

Ram:"Nhi maa, sab theek hai.."

Shalini:"Accha to tu kal usse milne jayega? Cafe par?

Ram:"Kal! Itna jaldi?"

Shalini:"Jaldi kaha hai, mene kal shaam ko kaha, aaj nhi."

Ram:"Par... Theek hai me jauga usse milne kal.."

Shalini:"Are waah! Me Anju Ji ko bata deti hu..."

She went out of the room..

Ram(m):"Priya mujhse shaadi karegi? Vese me kisi par bhi trust nhi kar sakta, par Priya alag hai, me us par pura trust kar sakta hu... Koi aur, aur Priya me fark hai, naahi vo uss Kriti ki tarah gold digger hai... She is sweet, caring, smart and intelligent..."

Shalini called Anju..

Anju:"Ji Shalini ji, me abhi aapko hi call karne vali thi... Priya Ram se milne ke liye ready hai.."

Shalini:"Kya?! Sacchi?! Ram bhi ready hai..."

Anju:"Are waah.. Ye bohot accha hua... Me Priya ko bol deti hu..."

Shalini:"Haa.."
